Back in the “old days” – 1996 to be exact – I was just getting out of high school, and while I had built my own crappy computers for a while by then, I was always on the lookout for something new. When I went to a computer show in...

Any watch will tell the time with a good degree of accuracy. Then again, time is completely subjective and some just don’t care to abide by it. Course, more often than not those people are abundantly late to meetings, dinners and anything that requires they be there at a specific time. Put...

We’re still searching for the perfect water bottle and the Clean Bottle is looking pretty good. Unlike other water bottles, this one unscrews from both ends, which in theory should make cleaning a bit easier – the sponge won’t get lost in the base of the bottle. Both ends...
